Abstract: (188 Views)
The length–weight relationship, growth pattern, and condition factor are key indicators for the assessment and management of aquatic resources. Anodontostoma chacunda (Hamilton, 1822), commonly known as the Chacunda Gizzard Shad, is an economically valuable clupeid inhabiting the coastal waters of Hormozgan Province, Iran. This study examined the length–weight relationship and growth pattern of this species across four locations: Jask, Khamir, Bandar Abbas, and Qeshm. A total of 240 specimens were collected from local fishermen during the summer of 2024. The maximum total length (19.7 cm) and body weight (120 g) were recorded in Bandar Abbas, while the minimum values (9.0 cm and 18.52 g) were observed in Jask. The length–weight regression exponent (b) ranged from 3.65 to 3.87 across sampling sites. Based on the 95% confidence interval and Pauly’s criteria, the growth pattern was classified as positively allometric in all stations. The condition factor (K) varied from 0.13 to 0.24, with the highest mean value observed in Khamir (0.24 ± 0.028). These findings provide baseline biological information that can support future management and conservation of A. chacunda populations in southern Iran.
